REFERENCE  LIST  OF  LOCALS. 


The  Local  Stamps  of  the  United  Htates  have  been  for  the  past  f»-w 
years  regarded  with  indifference  by  many,  and  no  catalogue  to  date 
baa  given  the  information  that  Ih  desired  in  a  "  List." 

The  compiler  is  indebted  to  Mr.  Coster's  work  for  much  information, 
supplemented  by  correspondence  with  various  specialists  who  "love 
locals  for  their  own  worth." 

Most  catalogues  arrange  these  stamps  without  regard  to  the  issues, 
and  in  many  instances  the  stamps  of  tbe  same  pdst  are  catalogued  as  if 
Issued  by  different  parties. 

In  such  cases  as  were  possible,  the  history  of  the  post  shows  that 
one  proprietor  sold  out  or  was  alworbed  by  another.  In  these  we  have 
arranged  then)  so  as  t<»  show  *uch  change  of  proprietorship.  The  chro- 
nology, so  far  as  possible,  is  denoted  by  the  Roman  numerals  after  the 
name  of  a  post,  thus,  cxxi.  The  *  shows  if  a  used  stamp  is  on  the 
original  letter  ;  the  t  denotes  that  they  are  linown  to  have  existed  at 
tills  date  but  may  have  been  in  use  previous  to  the  date  indicited ; 
where  the  date  Is  entirely  a  matter  of  doubt,  ? ;  the  J  shows  that  the 
value  is  not  indicated  on  the  stamp.  When  such  value  is  known  it  is 
inserted  In  parenthesis  (5  cents).  The  check  list,  in  order  to  prevent 
confusion,  will  have  the  cipher  '0"  before  the  numeral,  as  017. 

The  thanks  of  the  compiler  are  due  to  Messrs.  Charles  H.  Coster,  L. 
W.  Durblti,  Philip  La  Tourette  and  William  A.  Warner.

Note.— Should  any  errors  have  crept  in  this  list,  the  compiler 
would  be  only  too  pleased  to  learn  of  such  at  any  time.
